Garli for Debian
================

When building the package the build time test suite is run.  It has turned
out that it does not pass for each random number initialisation, which is
documented in a bug log

    https://bugs.debian.org/907905

To enable relieable package builds randseed was set from -1 to 1 in all
test configurations.  It might be worth detailed inspection why there are
random test failures.  Unfortunately this goes beyond the Debian packaging
and was reported upstream.

    https://github.com/Ashod/garli/issues/1

Please check this issue on Github for further information.


The MPI version claims to be 32 bit based on this test in src/garlimain.cpp:

	//I'm not sure that this is dependable or portable, but it is only for screen output, so isn't that important
	int ptrSize = sizeof(int *);
	if(ptrSize == 8)
		is64bit = true;
	else
		is64bit = false;

I think that test is simply wrong since compilation is 64 bit on amd64.
